    Capcom perfected the combat formula over countless releases, but it wasn’t until Monster Hunter: World that they stripped away what ultimately was never much fun to begin with. You spend less time spent preparing, and more time actually fighting. And sales figures suggest, as we all expected, that Capcom really had something special sitting under all that bloat.

    Monster Hunter World is one of the best games of the year, and it shines brightly on the PC.

    An amazing confluence of level and monster design, combat and gameplay systems, Monster Hunter: World is undoubtedly best Monster Hunter game. After spending well over a hundred hours outside the campaign, I think my original review score was actually a little low. As a game, Monster Hunter: World is still incredible, but the PC release can only be considered definitive for a relatively small number of power users with top-shelf GPUs and zippy processors. While everyone with a recent PC and decent graphics card can make the game work, for many players the best experience may still be on console.

    Monster Hunter World captivates with thrilling boss fights and its variety of weapons, but the PC port could have been technically better.

    Arriving eight months late on PC, everything that can be said about Monster Hunter World already has done. Rest assured though, the wait was indeed worth it. Anyone looking for a deep action game they can potentially invest hundreds of hours into need look no further. This is Monster Hunter, back and better than it's ever been before.

    Monster Hunter: World still has all the complexity expected from this series, but it dishes it out in much more palatable chunks than usual. It's still got a frightening amount of depth, but it feels manageable in a way that few in the series have pulled off before. Players may still feel a little lost from time to time, but a little guidance from series vets or other friends can drastically reduce the growing pains new players will likely experience. On top of all that, this is one of the best-feeling titles the series has had to date; so saddle up with some friends, and explore all the New World has to offer.

    It's not the worst console port I have seen, but it surely isn't the best one. The only real flaw of the PC version of Monster Hunter World is the buggy multiplayer mode. Everything else works just fine and deserves some attention - after all, this is one of the most captivating adventures in the virtual world ever.

    跟随着调查团深入一片未知的大陆本身就相当吸引人,虽然实际上剧情表现不佳,但是细致入微的设定和栩栩如生的生态仍然让我感到这仿佛就是一片真实存在的世界,在这片土地上的每一次狩猎,从狩猎中归来后在据点的休憩和准备都让人相当有代入感。
    怪猎的游戏体验确实可以用打怪做装备打怪做装备来概括,但是个人反而更中意这种简单但是爽快的游戏体验,世界即使简化了不少的系统也比大部分rpg复杂,所以做装备这一环节并不重复,优秀的怪物ai设计提供了很好的交互,虽然上手门槛较高且新手引导偏弱,但是一旦上手便很容易沉迷进去,每战胜一只怪物都能带来极强的正反馈

    So firstly I'd like to say this is my first Monster Hunter Game I've played and I would just like to say that I love it already! One thing i'dSo firstly I'd like to say this is my first Monster Hunter Game I've played and I would just like to say that I love it already! One thing i'd like to address asap that I noticed about low score reviews on here, is that they really, REALLY dislike the animations of your characters during fighting, and think of it as clunky. well, fun fact, that's because its SUPPOSED to be. unlike your typical multi-weapon based game, weapons in MH:W aren't made of paper and plastic and you can't just fling a sword thrice as big as you like it doesn't weigh anything. battles are HECTIC, with environmental traps and places to use a grappling hook for quick mobility, and at all times during a battle you'll be thinking on your feet. However, this game isn't a hack-and-slash where you can just button mash and expect things to die, you have to plan your strikes(and positioning if you're using a ranged weapon) before you make them or you'll be punished for attacking in the wrong way at the wrong time. Bows for example let you run around pretty well and let you stay agile, while a lance-and-shield will make you extremely sluggish but will allow you to take extremely minimal damage while blocking, and I LOVE this system, to many games I have played where you can just button mash and things die without even being in the Hack-And-Slash genre, its refreshing to play this.

    The maps look beautiful and vibrant, and of course, so do the monsters! speaking of the monsters, I found the adaptive AI really awesome, especially during a few instances so far of 1 monster attacking another monster I'm currently fighting, which is something that is completely unscripted.

    Now, I do have some gripes with the game, Which is why im not giving it a 10, which, I agree with low score reviews, the game is pretty poorly optimized. I have a 1070Ti (overclocked as high as I could take it safely I might add) with a Ryzen 2700x OC'd CPU, and this game still can not reliably hit 60 fps without me turning some settings down a little unless I'm in a very open area without a lot of density, or i'm in non-busy floors of the main hub area. during gameplay I'm looking at around 50-65 fps with lows as bad as 40, but, highs reaching the high 70's. Hopefully some patches get released that will get this game "unchugged".

    I also don't enjoy the lack of depth to character creation, but I understand that certain aspects (such as size and body type) could cause some issues of game balance if they were to have immersive gameplay effects such as someone overweight moving slower than a fit body type, or a short character being much harder for the monsters to hit if their hitbox was also reduced to fit their height.

    all in all, the game so far is very enjoyable for me, and as someone that's always been on the low end hardware side of life for the last 20 or so years, and only just now finally getting a beefy PC, turning down a few settings to get the game at a stable 60 frames isn't the end of the world for me. on a completely unrelated note, I did notice some people saying the Co-op is unstable. I've done a LOT of hunts so far, and with those, I did the majority single-player, I will admit to that. However every single multiplayer session i've done has had no issues whatsoever, but, I'm, speaking for myself, I'd say try the game out, try to rush through the tutorial as fast as you can with the default character model(you can have up to 3 character profiles at once and can just delete the profile after) so you can do the multiplayer as soon as possible to see if it gives you issues. if you enjoy the game when doing your first quest tutorial, and there are no problems with multiplayer, delete that profile or just begin a new game and take your time with that profile, and have fun :)

    If this is going to be your first Monster Hunter game, the combat may feel clunky and the storyline may not feel intriguing at all. The reasonIf this is going to be your first Monster Hunter game, the combat may feel clunky and the storyline may not feel intriguing at all. The reason for that is, the story is there to give you a purpose, as the name of the game implies the main focus is to go out in the wilds for hunting, preferably with some friends.

    Weapons have a deep learning curve and you will not be able to perry or dodge like crazy. The idea behind Monster Hunter is that as a hunter, you are very vulnerable and the enormous monster in front of you is way stronger than you in every way. So, you can't just press buttons randomly and hope for the best. Getting used to monster hunting takes fairly a long time and you will not master the combat in a couple of hours, that's for sure.

    The game has lots of details to explore and requires a lot of patience, which everyone does not have. If you are not willing to spend the extra time on it, you might want to look somewhere else.

    I got excited when it launched, because I have vague memories about the 2004 ps2 hit and they stuck to some visuals.

    All in all there is not much to do except grinding. Plus I did not like the slow combat movements, which i guess is a personal taste. For the high price they launched poor content.

    I sincerely don't understand how this game can be rated this high.
    The feel is to play a extremely complex game without any indication and guide.
    - UI and UX is mind-blowing and bad.
    - Multiplayer is clunky and not really friendly.
    - the frustration when the monster run away almost dead?
    - animations while talking are weird...
    Every single weapon, food, monster, mission, item has as many details as you can't imagine, every single combination is a different way to accomplish a mission.
    It feels that you need to spend more than 100h only to get the base of the game, while you don't really know what you're doing and basically you're pressing random buttons to slay hidden animals.
